This reminds of the movie "Encino Man" when "Link" catches the fly and pops it into his mouth and Pauly Shore's character says, "meat group."

Exactly what are they investigating? Humans have been eating those things for thousands of years.

The best way to get people to eat stuff like that is to make sure they don't know what it is when they first try it. We did that with our nieces. We knew they wouldn't touch calamari if they knew what it was so we had them try it first and after they said they liked it we told them what it was. They turned up their noses a bit but continued eating it. For many people, if not most and I am included, the idea of something can turn them off more than its actual taste and smell.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

All of the gov devs on my team had to go to a 2-day scrum master class, and now they have to go to Austin to take a scrum dev class.

Someone here has not only drank the kool-aid, they're freakin' bathing in it.

"I controlled my laughter and simple said "No,I am very busy,so I can't write any code for you". The moment they heard this all the smiling face turned into a sad looking face and one of them farted. So I had to leave the place as soon as possible."- Mr.Prakash One Fine Saturday. 24/04/2004
